Happy birthday to the first woman to earn a doctorate in science, physicist and professor Laura Maria Caterina Bassi Veratti (née, & known throughout her life as Bassi, 1711-1778). I’ve shown her surrounded by the sort of state-of-the-art instrumentation she would have used in her lab to investigate electricity: an electrical machine, conductors, an aurora flask, a luminous discharge tube, a Lane electrometer, 🧵1/

For day 23 #spacetober_challenge nebula: Caroline Herschel (1750 – 1848) a trail blazing woman in #astronomy. Hers was a real life Cinderella story, where rather than marrying a prince, she made a life & career for herself. Marriage her expected role but she was deemed unmarriageable, since a childhood bout of typhus stunted her growth. Her mother thought she should train to be a servant, & 🧵1/

Happy birthday to trailblazing programmer & computer scientist, Beatrice “Trixie” Worsley (1921-1972). My #linocut shows Worsley seated at the first computer in Canada, the FERUT (which she named) & a flow diagram of one of her programs.
Trixie Worsley earned one of the first doctorates in computer science anywhere, & was supervised by Douglas Hartree and Alan Turing at Cambridge. Amongst the first computer scientists in 🧵

Day 12 #spacetober_challenge is Roman Space Telescope so I made a portrait of its namesake #astronomer Nancy Grace Roman (1925-2018), NASA's 1st chief of astronomy throughout the 60s & 70s, who helped shape the space astronomy program. Nicknamed "mother of Hubble" for her role in planning the revolutionary Hubble Space Telescope, she was active in science communication & an advocate for #womenInSTEM throughout her career. 🧵1/

Hi, I'm Tineke 👋 Over the past year, linocut printing has sparked my creativity: a creative outlet away from screens. It all started with a medieval rabbit wielding an axe 🐇🪓 About the name Studio Vro: vro is an old Dutch word for cheerful/happy (vrolijk).
Here I'll share my prints, my process and my search for a style of my own.

Raccoon Greetings for Raccoon Appreciation Day! This is a portrait of a former neighbour who showed up at my back door like this, to enquire as to where I had moved the compost bin. So I took his photo and made a print.
Toronto belongs to the raccoons. They just let us live here because we have good snacks.

Hope you all are having a great weekend!
I brought an old linocut block out (bear with coffee cup) and thought I'd try printing it on STICKER PAPER. it's oil based ink, so
BAD NEWS: it'll take a week or so to dry
GOOD NEWS: they should be waterproof!!
Will let you know how it works out!

I've updated my website this evening. I've added new engravings and watercolours and ink sketches that span almost the full decade I've been dabbling in art.

Happy birthday to trailblazing American computer scientist Frances Elizabeth Allen (1932 – 2020) who made foundational contributions to optimizing compilers, optimizing programs and parallel computing. She was the first woman to become an IBM Fellow, where she worked from 1957 to 2002 and as an emeritus fellow afterwards. She was the first woman to win the Turing Prize.

I designed the typefaces to suggest the meaning of the words. “Parliament” is in a gothic script. “Owls” has an owl eye for ‘o’ and the remaining letters are feathered. The owls are, right to left and top to bottom: the Eastern screech, Northern saw-whet, long-eared, Barred, Great Horned and the American Barn owls.

Since a while, we have a lent screen printing machine in the lab and one of our members is currently doing a lot of experiments with it.
Here are some impressions from the first self-made Munich Maker Lab screen and the first prints.
